Default DIY install for ebay Lip?

Is there a detailed DIY on exactly what I need to do to install this lip?

it's an ebay lip, so fitments not perfect. I hear alot of people mentioning the use of heat gun, but what exactly do i do? Does everybody have three people holding the lip, or is there a way to clamp it and put it into place?

Do you try fitment of the lip (with screws?) before painting or after painting? my lip came with rivets, and i don't know what to do with these.

I got quoted $300 for paint and install, but considering I spent $45 on the lip, it just doesn't seem worth it.

Help please?

autobody double sided tape (3m), or you can get honda weaterstripping and then just install it on the lip and attach to the body. I would also drill two holes on each end of the lip as well and attache on to the innder fender wll so it dosent come off. There is alot of dyi on youtube type in baysonr

I just stretched it on there so to speak. Started with one side and worked my way to the other. screwed on the sides, and then started riveting the brackets inbetween. Not perfect, but lines up pretty good.
